Repairs by material
Acrylic
Acrylic trays are lighter and slightly flexible, so a firm base is essential. We repair cracks and scratches.
Ceramic
Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. They chip and crack from impact, and we match the gloss when we repair them.

DIY kit or professional repair?
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

Repairing versus replacing in High Beech
A new shower tray frequently means a new enclosure fitting, new tiling and new sealant. A repair leaves all of that untouched. Prices start from £95. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Looking after it afterwards
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Don’t use strong acids or bleach
- Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
- Keep the bathroom well ventilated
- Rinse away soap after showering
Rinse the tray down after showering, clean with mild cleaners, and keep the sealant in good condition so water cannot get underneath.
Act on split sealant early. It lets water behind the tray and can damage the floor below.
What we do, step by step
We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and the work begins. Allow a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, and we’ll keep you posted as we go.
- The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
- Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
- The tray is cleaned, keyed and repaired.
- The surface is refinished to match.
- We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.
Preparing for the visit
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Let us know about parking or access

Advice
Work for landlords and builders
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in High Beech as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it typically costs far less than a refit.
When a repair isn’t the answer
We won’t take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:
- Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
- Plumbing leaks under the tray
- Damage below the tray that needs a builder
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.
Surfaces we repair
- Stone resin
- Acrylic
- Enamelled steel
- Cast iron
- Ceramic

- Scratches in the surface
- A tray that flexes
- Chips on the edges
